Research Notes and Application Reports a Microcomputer System for Data Logging in Geophysical Surveying

Abstract

A system is described whereby readings from an earth resistance meter may be recorded automatically on a small portable computer. Field tests have demonstrated that the system is more reliable and more economical than manual recording, and that the results may be processed quickly and conveniently into their final form.

Detecting Trends in the Prediction of the Buried Past: A Review of Geophysical Techniques in Archaeology*

“…Ultimately, geophysical techniques have partly filled this gap, due to the increasing reliability of the instruments and the explosion in computing power. Kelly et al . (1984) published in Archaeometry the first direct coupling for archaeological purposes of a resistance meter to a portable computer.…”

Archaeological investigation by electrical resistivity tomography: a preliminary study

“…Modern instruments and software now permit the processing and display of resistivity survey data on site (e.g. Kelly, Dale & Haigh 1984).…”
